I thank Mr. O'Kelly for that.

The following questions may relate to Mr. Breen of the State Claims Agency, or somebody else may answer them. I note that there were 12,175 active claims by the end of 2020. That was a 5% increase on the figure for 2019, with an estimated total of €4 billion in potential liability. Can somebody give a breakdown sector by sector? I note there was some breakdown. I think it was 92% for Tusla and the Department of Health and, I think, 6% encompassing the Departments of Justice, Defence and Education. Is there a breakdown of that 92% between the Department of Health and Tusla? Do the witnesses have that with them?
